I used to do that old 70's calisthenics video. It found that it was a great workout but I never stuck with it.

Yes, I do both gymnastics based skills training along with compound lifts.

I do both calisthenics and weight lifting. I'll be incorporating more calisthenics soon, I have a pair of gymnastics rings on the way.

That’s a great combo of training 👍

My favourite exercise apart from the muscle up👍

I have always felt that calisthenics were under rated. Personally, I feel that it is a more natural movement than curling a dumbbell or other weight training.

Every day.

I run through the basic pushups, situps, leg lifts, etc. This has always been a key point of my daily training regimen.

Me. I love bodyweight exercises. I do lift some and walk a lot but I try to do several bodyweight exercises every day. Simple, no equipment but very effective if done properly.

I found that I have been doing body weight exercises during commercial breaks on the tv.

I've watched and read a lot on the original exercise guru Jack Lallanne, and I plan on doing his routines when I start my exercise regime at the new year.

I’ve been off and on with it for a while. I’ve become anti gyms with the cost, time etc. with having a young family. Just started using gymnastics rings last few days. Still feeling sore!
There’s heaps of info on YouTube. Thenx, Red Delta project, Fitness FAQs are my favourites.

Yes, I’ve recently downloaded a few free body weight apps and I’m in the process of figuring out which ones are my favorite.

I alternate between weights one day and calisthenics in the pool the next. I find doing them in the pool is very relaxing and a good recovery from the weights ... also easy on the joints for an old person (me)

@jan110144 When I go to the gym, I am surprised at how many people do not take advantage of the pool and spa. I agree that motion in the water is great. It gives the joints a break from the pounding of lifting.

At the moment all I do is push ups. I’m eventually going to add in pull ups but I’m limited at the moment
